Bobbi Humphrey is an American jazz flautist and composer. Born on 25 April 1950 in Marlin, Texas, USA, she made history as one of the first woman instrumentalists signed to Blue Note Records in 1971. Alongside her successful solo career, Bobbi collaborated with renowned artists such as Duke Ellington, Roy Ayers, and Stevie Wonder.

With a distinctive style that blends soulful melodies and captivating rhythms, Bobbi Humphrey has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz music. Her talent on the flute has earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

If you enjoy the music of Ronnie Foster, Lonnie Liston Smith, Gene Harris, Donald Byrd, or Roy Ayers Ubiquity among others from our similar artists list below - then you are sure to appreciate the enchanting sounds of Bobbi Humphrey's compositions.

Flutist Bobbi Humphrey found wide success with Blacks and Blues (1973), her breakout third album for Blue Note, working with the Mizell Brothers (who had recently hooked up with Donald Byrd to produce the trumpeter’s landmark album Black Byrd) to create a jazz-funk classic for the ages featuring the standout track “Harlem River Drive.” Humphrey’s alluring flute and breezy vocals paired with Larry Mizell’s compelling R&amp;B jazz fusion compositions and production proved a winning combination.

This is a jazz-funk classic that helped make her a sensation at Montreux. If it sounds a lot like Donald Byrd's post-Black Byrd output, it's no accident; brothers Larry and Fonce Mizell have their fingerprints all over the album, and as on their work with Byrd, Larry handles all the composing and most of the arranging and production duties.
